Question 1
In neoclassical consumer theory, consumer preferences over consumption bundles in $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ are assumed to satisfy fundamental rationality axioms. Which axiom guarantees that indifference curves cannot cross each other in two-dimensional commodity space?
Correct Answer:
Transitivity (Transitividade das preferências).
Question 2
A consumer has the Cobb-Douglas utility function $U(x_1, x_2) = x_1^\alpha x_2^\beta$, where $\alpha > 0$, $\beta > 0$, and faces prices $p_1 > 0$, $p_2 > 0$, and income $I > 0$. What is the fraction of total income allocated to good 1 at the interior utility-maximizing optimum?
Correct Answer:
$$\frac{\alpha}{\alpha + \beta}$
Question 3
When the price of a good increases, the total change in quantity demanded can be decomposed into substitution and income effects via the Slutsky equation. Under what specific condition does a good become a Giffen good?
Correct Answer:
The good is an inferior good, and the negative income effect outweighs the negative substitution effect in absolute magnitude.
Question 4
Let $V(p_1, p_2, I)$ be the indirect utility function of a rational consumer facing strictly positive prices and income. According to Roy's Identity, how is the Marshallian demand for good $i$, $x_i(p, I)$, derived from $V(p, I)$?
Correct Answer:
$$x_i(p, I) = -\frac{\partial V(p, I) / \partial p_i}{\partial V(p, I) / \partial I}$
Question 5
Let $e(p_1, p_2, u)$ be the expenditure function of a consumer with continuous and strictly monotonic preferences. Which property is NOT a general mathematical property of the expenditure function?
Correct Answer:
It is strictly concave in target utility $u$.
